Letters Patent No. 97,105, dated November 23, 1869.

IMPROVEMENT IN WATER-CLSETS.

The Schedule referred to in vthese Letters Patent and making part of the same.

vand without any other fitting; also, to bring the joint between the cover and the trunk at the top, where it is least of all objectionable, and where it will be covered, and a tight joint made with the putty ordinarily used in setting the earthen basin, while the cover, withal, closes direct, and issecured firmly and cheaply by simple screws; and all this without increasing the diieulty of moulding.

1 keep the `form of the trunk suoli, in every respect, that it can be readily moulded in an ordinary twopart flask, which is quite au advantage to the inanufacturer.

` Figure 1 is a side view of the hopper with the cover in its place.

Figure 2 is a perpendicular vmiddle section. Figure 3 is a top view with the cover in its place. Figure 4 is a top view of the trunk with the cover removed.

A is the trunk.

B is the cover.

'a a a are lugs 'cast inside the trunk, and receive the screws for holding down the cover.

It will be seen that the cover makes a joint upon a slight shelf in the trunk made to receive it; also, that suitable bearings for the pan-shaft, at b, are cast in the metal, lthe lower half upon the trunk, and the upper on the cover,at c, so that when theoover is oli', the pan-shaft can be lifted ont conveniently.

The lower part ofthe trunk has branches (l (Z d, for fastening it up in the usual manner.

E is a shelf for a valve.

F is a lug for attaching a suitable lever.

Having thus fully described my invention,

That I claim therein as new, and desire to secure by Letters latent, is-

The water-closet hoppeighaidng a removable cover,

with suitable lugs to restdown perpendicular-ly upon the pan-shaft, which is jonrnalled inthe sides of the hopper, -while at the same time the cover `fits within the top part of the trunk, sofas to bring the joint bc- Witnesses:
